Thunder thanks

Well-known member
I recently asked water thunder what I could do to wake up my stock 330HP SB 350 without spending a large amount of money ! he gave me the part #'s to jeg's for roller rockers, edlbrock air gap intake, carb spacer, spring kit, and a holly anullar 750 .He then helped me put everything on never rushing me and explained exactly what the parts were doing like the difference of an annular carb. You can just tell the passion he has for these engines. I got to run it last night and the performance was a lot more than I ever expected. he is a stand up guy with an incredible amount of knowledge with car motors on airboats and truly enjoys it
 
thats good your boat is working great. now I need to talk to him about my motor/box/prop and figure out what i should do.and what would be the best for me. maybe I need one of those ls1 been thinking alot about it.
 
Basket Why not just turn thunder loose on what you got I bet he can get it closer for you. just a thought
 
I had some of yall wantin to know the part #s Thunder said no problem . these are all http://www.jegs.com part #'s carb spacer 555-15420 $84.99 , roller rockers 270-10758-16 $299.99, curve kit 720-929 G $7.99 ,airgap maniflod 350-7316 $219.99 I needed a new carb so this finished the package . I would see if the one you have will work 5100-9379 $445.99 . these upgrades only gained me about 50 HP but the big improvment is throttle response ,bottom end tourqe ,top end gain (250 RPM) and over all SNAP

He did the same for me a few months back,he told me what to do on my ZZ4 I put top of the line Crane 1.6 roler rockers, MSD off shore racing distributor and curve kit and a spring kit for my 750 Holey and it turned a already good runing boat into a beast and I picked up almost 300 more rpm's with out changing the pitch of the prop,he is amazing with chev V8's
If he ever needs a nice a paint job on that new boat of his I will have to go down there and do my thing with paint for him to pay him back for the great advice.He is a great asset to this web site.
 
Thanks allot for the complements guy’s I really enjoyed working with both of you and I'm glade your happy with your set up. I hope to get some fine tuning done on Crocks boat this week it's really close. I will be doing some major sound and thrust testing here shortly on my boat and have already had several offers of help and prop's that’s why I enjoy sharing what I have learned because you can always learn more. And I have met some great people already thru this site. I am looking forward to some monthly rides once I catch up on some motors.
